A wolf lay hungry and thirsty at a distance
from the bank of a stream. He seemed so weak

that he could not walk to the stream to drink

water. A flock of sheep passed by. One of the
sheep went near the wolf thinking that he was
dead.
The wolf spoke to the sheep thus; “Friend, I
am unabie to stand up and walk. I am very
thirsty. Will you kindly fetch me some water to
drink? I do not want any meat for food.”

The Lion, The Jackal and The Wolf

Rise - Ramu’s Institute Of Spoken English - DVDs & Books - Available - Ramu : ( 0 ) 9390495239
The lion, king of the jungle was unwell. He stayed in his cave
and did not go out for more than a week. Many faithful animals
visited the lion and made enquiries about his health. But the jackal
did not visit the lion for a long time. But he was secretly observing
Rise - Ramu’s Institute Of Spoken English - DVDs & Books - Available - Ramu : ( 0 ) 9390495239

what was happening in the cave. The wolf hated the jackal. The
wolf thought that he could easily get the jackal into trouble at this
time. He said to the lion, “My lord, the jackal does not visit you. He
is avoiding you.
I understand that he is hatching a plot against you”. The jackal
was overhearing this talk. Jhe lion was angry. He grumbled and
stamped his foot on the ground. In an angry tone the lion ordered
the wolf, “Bring the jackal at once”. The wolf went out. He searched
for the jackal and summoned him to the presence of the lion.
The lion asked, “Why did you not come here for a number of
days. What kept you away?” The jackal meekly said, “Forgive me,
li sh
lord! I had been away visiting many places seeking the advice of
n g
doctors in order to cure you of your painful illness”. Now the lion
E

was pleased. He said, “Is that so? I am happy about it. What do the
doctors say?” All doctors are agreed on one point. There is sure
p o 9 5
remedy for your illness”. “What is that?” asked the lion. “The remedy

A kid was standing on a high rock on a hill.
He saw a wolf standing far away down below.
The kid realised that the wolf could not climb up

abused the wolf in very bad language He
continued the bad language for a long time.
The wolf was patiently hearing the
abusive language Then he spoke to the
kid thus:
“Oh foolish kid! I don’t mind your abuse.

Your abuses do not flow from your strength. You

The Lion and The Elephant

Rise - Ramu’s Institute Of Spoken English - DVDs & Books - Available - Ramu : ( 0 ) 9390495239
A lion felt very miserable.
He said to himself, “Of what use is my great strength? Of what
use are my sharp teeth and sharp claws? It is a pity that this mean
cock crows so powerfully that it makes a piercing terryfying noise
Rise - Ramu’s Institute Of Spoken English - DVDs & Books - Available - Ramu : ( 0 ) 9390495239

and I am powerless to stop it what kind of life is this that I have to put
to with this hell of an unbearable noise?
At that time the big elephant came there. He was waving his
large ears constantly this way and that way. The lion asked the
elephant, “Oh big brother! what is your worry? Is there any animal or
creature that can stand before you? Any other creature or animal
would run away on seeing your huge body.
What is it that troubles you
The elephant made reply:
Do you notice the little buzzing wasp flying near my face and

l i h
ears? What will happen if it enters my ears and stingp me there?
s
The pain will be unbearable. That is why I am restlessly waving my
ears to keep the wasp away. *

The lion thought:

A wolf was chasing a kid. The kid ran very fast

and far, but the wolf followed it closely everywhere.
At last the kid entered a Kali temple and bolted the
door. The wolf could not go in. The wolf growled
and threatened the kid with dire consequences. But
the kid was firm. At last the wolf said, “The priest will

Once a crow found a lot of

vain as to think that if he put

real peacock.
So he picked up the

them into his own. Then with the false feathers on, he left
his own tribe to mix with the peacock’s.
But the peacocks at once found him out.
They drew out his gay feathers and fell on him with
their sharp bills and made him smart for his false pride.
Then they drove him away.

On the way the giant saw the traveler blowing

air through his mouth at his fingers. When the
giant, asked for the reason he replied that he was
heating his hand by the air from his mouth.
After reaching the cave, the giant served him
a cup of hot soup. On receiving it, the traveler
again started blowing air by his mouth at the cup.
